Multi`million pound plans to modernise Swindon's Oasis Leisure

Centre are on hold for now after the firm behind the project

Labour councillors now say they want the current agreement to upgrade

the pool and build an indoor ski slope handed to another firm.

The Oasis Leisure Centre has been part of Swindon since the 1970s.

The water is warm and there's a machine that actually creates waves.

But crying out for a facelift, Swindon Borough Council leased it

to a firm called Moirai Capital Investments on the condition it

modernised it and added an indoor ski slope, bowling alley and cinema.

But some councillors say Moirai have failed to meet a planning deadline

and claims its sister company, MW Contract Services, who are running

the centre, has gone bust, owing local firms thousands of pounds.

Now some want the whole deal torn up.

It doesn't reflect well on the Council or the people of Swindon

if we are in partnership with a company that is prepared to in

effect rip`off local businesses to the amount of money they have and I

think that we find that unacceptable and I think that,

for that reason alone, I don't think we should continue the contract.

I think we should scrap it now and get a new partner.

One of the local firms who have lost out is Storm Recruitment in Swindon.

They were employed to maintain the grounds but

when the management company folded, they lost around ?4,500.

You have this fantastic company come to Swindon with an amazing project,

that not only are businesses excited about

but the residents are also, so to be involved in that was excellent.

The fact that it's then turned into such a sour ending was terrible.

Despite those problems and the delayed planning application,

Swindon Borough Council are seemingly being patient with Moirai.

As for Moirai, well, they were unavailable for comment

today but everyone seems to agree that development here is needed.

The question now seems to be who should deliver it?

of the country's biggest agricultural shows near Aylesbury.

The Bucks County Show has been held for almost 150 years and has only

ever been cancelled once during the foot and mouth outbreak.

Washed, brushed and sprinkled with baby powder.

You don't often see livestock looking so clean.

But for the farmers here, a prize can mean

It promotes the countryside for the people that don't understand

Last year in particular there was a group came

They came from an office in London on a day out

More entries were received for the agricultural show this year

Something the organisers say is a good sign for British farming.

They are keen that this show inspires the next generation.

Think about farming as an occupation.

There's a world out there with increasing

world population that are going to need feeding and farming is going to

have a really important strategic role in the future of the planet

For the Bucks Show, this year has been another success.

Once the tents are packed up, planning for next year's event will

Alexis has the regional weather forecast next.

The risk of a shower overnight tonight but most places will escape

the showers and it will stay mainly dry but the breeze will start to

increase from the south`west and that will bring in some patchy

cloud, maybe the odd shower, but most places staying dry with

Temperatures slightly above the seasonal average

Now, tomorrow morning we'll start on a dry and bright and a breezy note

but during the afternoon we'll start to see the cloud increase and that

during the afternoon than sunshine and a high of 16`19 Celsius.
